RESULTS:
In the interest of strict confidentiality, test results are best given to the patient in person. Receptionists are not qualified to give results, so it is advisable to see the doctor who ordered the tests for the results. An appointment can be made for this.
When tests are performed it is the patients responsibility to contact the clinic for an appointment. Never assume that because you have not heard from the doctor or clinic that tests results are normal.
REMINDERS:
Our practice is committed to preventive care. Your doctor will seek permission for you to be put on our reminder system. We may phone and/or issue you a reminder letter from time to time appropriate to your care. If you do not wish to be part of this system, please let your doctor or reception know.
